third dimension

You can’t exactly get a real hands-on impression of the Nintendo 3DS without actually having the system in your hands. In fact, you can’t even even get a real eyes-on impressions because of the 3-D screen. The next best thing I can offer folks is this video, which shows co-workers initial reactions to seeing the system. I gave them the system and videotaped it. Keep in mind, this isn’t the gamer crowd. It’s a large swathe of people. Some had no idea what the Nintendo 3DS was or what they would be viewing.

As I mentioned in my review, the reactions differed for every person. Some people loved the 3-D; others hated it. It’s one of the reasons I say that the 3-D is not for everyone.
